9921-FS 3G/HD/SD Frame Sync

Tabs

Overview

The award-winning 3G/HD/SD Fusion3G® 9921-FS card offers frame sync, and advanced audio and ancillary data support, plus many other powerful features. Frame sync can select from multiple reference inputs, with failover to alternate selected sources. Full audio support includes per-channel audio delay. Remote control is quick and easy with the free DashBoard™ remote control software or the Cobalt OGCP-9000 remote control panels.

You can select from options to add (as inputs and/or outputs) fiber, analog video, AES and analog audio. Other options include wings insertion, general purpose keying, color correction, Dolby® E/AC-3 encoding and decoding (with both decode and re-encode on the same card), ITU/ATSC/EBU compliant loudness metering, and Linear Acoustic® upmixing and loudness processing.

Our Fusion3G® cards support the broadest array of options of any cards in our line. Using these powerful options is like having two or more cards in one card. Adding options allows adding processing versatility without the expense and space usage of extra, added cards. Many Fusion3G® options can be field-installed via an easy software feature upload, allowing select options to be installed as needed on already-installed cards. Software option upgrades typically take less than a minute to upload and require no removal of the card from its frame (these options of course can be ordered for new cards with the option already installed).

All of the Fusion3G® options described here can be installed on any Fusion3G® card (unless noted otherwise).

(High-ventilation; all coaxial connectors DIN1.0/2.3 or HD-BNC. This rear module provides optimized ventilation and should be used with -XF-HV where an expansion rear module is required for analog A/V IO or fiber.)

Expansion Rear I/O ModulesExpansion Rear I/O Modules are required for some video and audio options, such as analog audio/video and fiber connections. These rear modules mate with an Expansion piggyback card that is mounted to the base Fusion3G® card when equipped with these options. Expansion Rear I/O Modules are identified with ‘X’ in the part number and must be used with a Base Rear I/O Module to provide the full complement of card connections. See About Cobalt Rear I/O Modules and Rear Module Cross-Reference at Reference and Help Documents for more information.

Base Rear I/O Modules

Base Rear I/O Modules provide connections for standard card BNC video and audio connections, as well as other connections depending on rear module part number. These modules mate directly with the Fusion3G® card.

Expansion Rear I/O Modules

Expansion Rear I/O Modules are required for some video and audio options, such as analog audio/video and fiber connections. These rear modules mate with an Expansion piggyback card that is mounted to the base Fusion3G® card when equipped with these options. Expansion Rear I/O Modules are identified with ‘X’ in the part number and must be used with a Base Rear I/O Module to provide the full complement of card connections. See 20-Slot Frame Card Capacity and Rear Modules for more information.
